| I am going to be buying an 80% lower and jig, I was curious about where I would be able to get them both (from the same manufacturers) for the least amount of money. I'd prefer it to already be black anodized. Thanks! |

Look here for black anodized 80% lowers
It's OK click the above! |

In stock...

I found these guys. Anyone know anything about them? http://polymer80.com/product/ar15-g100-80-lower-receiver/ Still a unproven design, IMHO, I would stick with a proven and reputable company like KE Arms. Some of the polymer lowers out there have failed under certain conditions with anything higher powered than a .22LR...Perhaps the newer designs and materials being used will avoid those failures, but who knows, until it has proven to work under continuous firing for at least 5K rounds or more with higher powered cartridges like the: 6.5mm PCC, 6.5mm Grendel/.264 LBC, 6.8mm SPC II, .300 BLK, 7.62x40 WT, .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, and .50 Beowulf, then I would be a believer. The prices have come back down for 80% PCR's and you can pick-up some nice Forged/Billet 7075-T6 Paperweights for about the same price as the new Poly's... Just go with a established company that has the lowers/jigs in stock, I would not trust any of the recent "Rocket Hub" vendor's out there, I have yet to see a single person that has ordered from them receive there order...They seem to be a scam for the most part, especially when you consider the ridiculous low price points they claimed for a lower (just a 7075 Billet Block cost about $30 or more) then add labor and tooling etc., there just no way it can be done even at high volume and still make a profit. JMHO, YMMV. Good Luck. |

I found http://www.tacticalmachining.com/80-products/80-receivers/80-ar-15-lower-receiver.html . Does anyone know an inexpensive jig that would work on it? Also, after I do the drilling and complete it, what would I do to anodize or put a protective coat on it? The Colfax AR-15 jig ($99.00) will work with the TM lowers...as well as some others...TM makes some very good products though... |

I'm looking at shop.lower80 and sierranevadaarms right now. For drills, would this be good for it? http://www.harborfreight.com/garage-shop/stationary-drill-press/5-speed-bench-drill-press-60238-9067.html Don't skimp out on the endmills and drill bits, buy US, English, Swiss, German, Japanese, or French made tools whenever possible...they will last much longer, cut better, will stay sharper, and give you a much more accurate cut. Yeah I know they will cost two to three times more than the Chinese made junk, but it is worth it in the long run. |
